Fantasies—they’re like the secret sauce of our minds, adding a little spice to an otherwise predictable menu. Whether it’s a steamy scene in an elevator, a costume-party role-play, or a plot twist involving your favorite celebrity, fantasies are a natural part of the sexual landscape. Alain de Botton, in How to Think More About Sex, puts it beautifully: “Fantasies are an exploration of the possibilities of desire.” In other words, they’re not signs of dissatisfaction but playful imaginings of “what if.”
So, are fantasies bad? Absolutely not. They’re a window into creativity and curiosity, often revealing what excites us or what we’re missing in the day-to-day grind. But should you share them? That depends. If you feel safe and secure in your relationship, sharing can build intimacy and open up a whole new level of connection. But there’s no obligation to act them out—sometimes the fantasy is hottest when it stays in your head, free from the messiness of reality (and awkward costume malfunctions).
The key to fantasies is not letting them become a source of guilt or shame. They’re a mental playground, not a roadmap. Play "stranded on a desert island" with coconut lube and be taken away with tropical desire. Play "spa day retreat turns sexy" with Loobco, the possibilities are endless. Let your mind wander, get curious about your partner’s dreams, and, who knows, you might discover something thrilling together. After all, fantasies are about adding a little extra sparkle to the everyday—and who couldn’t use more of that?
